Transcript

Welcome back. I know you guys have watched me struggle with pulling handles for the past few weeks, but I said I was gonna teach myself how to do it. And I'm gonna be honest, this was my second attempt at pulling a handle for this particular mug. And I honestly thought it was too small, but given that it was the second attempt, I decided that that was enough. So I got fired and then eventually got glazed fired and then here it looks like it's pink, but it's actually the most beautiful green. And I absolutely love this glaze because it doesn't cover up the texture that's on the side. I also love this particular clay because it has those black speckles and with this particular glaze, you can still see that. Which is just so unique and beautiful. And I just love this handle for this mug too. It's just so perfect. I'm so happy with this mug. I can just imagine it being winner or fall when it's a little chilly outside and holding this mug for warmth from either tea or coffee or hot chocolate. Pulling handles has definitely changed my perspective for the better.
